詩篇 28

1 上主，我在向你呼號；我的磐石，不要置若罔聞；你若對我沉默不語，我便無異向陰府裏沉淪。

By David. To you, LORD, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

2 當我朝著你的聖所向你呼號，高舉我手時，請俯聽我的哀禱！

Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

3 求你不要把我同敗類一起剿絕，不要把我同作惡的人一同消滅：他們與人談平安，但心中卻十分陰險。

Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

4 願你按他們的作為，照他們行為的邪惡，報復他們；按他們手中的事業，給他們應得的報應，處罰他們！

Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.

5 他們不關心上主的工程和祂手中所行，但願上主粉碎他們，不要再使他們復興！

Because they don’t respect the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.

6 上主理應享受讚頌，因祂聽了我的禱聲。

Blessed be the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.

7 上主是我的力量，我的護佑，我對祂全心依賴，必獲扶助；為此我滿心歡喜，讚頌歌舞。

The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

8 上主是自己人民的力量，祂是受傅者得救的保障；

The LORD is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

9 求你拯救你的人民，祝福你的百姓，求你牧養他們，提攜他們直至永恒。

Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
